Watch: Tesla Model Y crashes, flips multiple times! Musk reacts as all passengers survive

In a dramatic incident, a Tesla Model Y was involved in a severe accident that resulted in the vehicle flipping multiple times. Miraculously, all occupants walked away from the crash with no serious injuries. The accident, captured on another car’s dash cam, shows the electric crossover SUV rolling over at high speed. The footage has since been widely circulated online.
In response to the incident, Tesla Chief Elon Musk responded to an X post, saying that “safety is our primary design goal.” This statement comes on the heels of the Tesla Model Y 2024 earning the Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).This prestigious award, which the Model Y achieved earlier this year, reflects the vehicle’s near-perfect scores in crash tests, even under more stringent criteria.

The crash occurred when the vehicle lost control due to excessive speed, leading it to flip and enter the lanes of oncoming traffic. At least three people were hospitalized following the incident, but reports indicate that their injuries were not severe.

Reports say that the car was allegedly travelling at over 150 kmph, despite the road appearing to be slow-moving. It is crucial to adhere to speed limits and avoid overspeeding in such conditions. However, the exact cause of the incident remains unclear. The incident also serves as a reminder of the significant advancements in car safety technology, with automakers like Tesla prioritizing the protection of passengers through design and engineering.
